Do MAGA not realize that cancelling DEI will greatly affect women’s careers?

Oh it’s totally targeted at Black people but nobody is will say it out loud.

DEI not targeting any white women, Asians. No impact there. Target is black and hispanic men and women

Wow.

Do you not know hard it was for a woman to get hired into a high paying jobs before DEI?

Do you not know that they only promoted white males?

Do you not know that the academia was primarily white males?

I work in tech and in my company I’m the only woman across all the US teams.

In my circle of friends most women are either SAMs ot work low paying jobs. Very few women I know have highly paid jobs.

Odd because I know a lot of women with great high-paying jobs. I’ve always out-earned my white male husband. If you really think the only way for a woman to make it is to be prioritized as a woman rather than based on merit, you must view women as fundamentally incapable of competing on their own. On that point, you’re wrong.

It’s like you’ve never worked in corporate America.

What do you do?

And that's not even getting into the stories my mom has told me from the 70s and 80s. She was straight up questioned in interviews if she was going to get pregnant. My mom has a PhD, one she finished while my oldest sibling was a baby.

Why is this such a bad question? Let's say you hire someone and then the go on leave for a year because they have a baby soon after starting . Look at the disaster in Europe and Canada you have people that go on leave for years and have recurring babies then after quit.so you pay someone 2 years to not work and then quit. This is going on right now with our European division it's wild.

I’m sure you make a lot of money (what a great American accomplishment), but you are clearly not very wise, and you are a poor student of history. Why don’t you educate yourself before you mouth off again to people who actually understand WTF they’re talking about…

As a woman in the private sector, I have no problem with it being gone. Not that I want anyone to lose their jobs though. I hope they can be reassigned.

You were probably hired because your company had to have a quota of hires that are not just white males.

This comment is why it’s best to phase out the idea of quotas and DEI. It negatively impacts women and the concept is embarrassing to me, as a woman. Perhaps different categories that fall under DEI have a better experience and they can stay in it. I’d like women out.

Embarrassing?!

Did you think that we went from being housewives in 50s to only be hired as secretaries and support staff to becoming CEOs just naturally, without any forceful policies?

Are you serious?

Do you not know about Equal Pay Act in 1963 or Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978 or Family Leave Act in 93?

Did you know that women were not allowed to legally have a credit card until 1974?

Some were, but Harris actually gained white women voters (only lost them by 5 points, compared to 11 points in 2020). Harris actually got fewer women over all than Biden had, and yet Trump's white women numbers stayed flat. Trump's gains came from other sources.

AP Vote cast shows that the white vote remained flat across the last elections, but Harris lost significant numbers in all other categories. Her biggest change was in Latina women and, of course, men generally.

How old are you? You appear to have a very limited knowledge of history.

LOL to “disaster in Europe and Canada”
BTW…

Women are actually supposed to stay home to take care of their 3-6 children, while men are supposed to go physically into the office to work 10-14 hour days. Of course, women* will be permitted to sell jewelry they design or sell cakes they bake and decorate for birthday parties and straight weddings or tutor little kids in math (up to algebra) or something.

Won't it be nice? A return to the good old times!!

*This is only white women. Black and brown women and single women can remain in service professions.

+1
And black and brown women should get paid less and be judged more, of course.

There have been plenty of qualified and capable women that did not get hired because they were women.

How do you not know that?

I have a DD. She'll need to be flexible in planning her career. Plan for work thst will be attractive to other countries (Some csreers work better than others.) The environment that is best for her may not be her in the U.S.

Depends I know, but that possibility is real

Yeah, I’m definitely sending my DD to a college overseas.

But I’m just shocked that MAGA women don’t realize that they voted against themselves and their daughters.

A lot of them didn't vote against themselves though - many of my neighbors don't really want to work, they'd much rather stay home and take care of their husbands kids and homes. The 1950's nostalgia is real among those born 1990-. This of course does not apply to women of color who should continue to be our nurses and nannies and work in fast food and retail. [NOTE this is not how I think but we're blind if we don't see this in suburbia every day]

I take issue with the conflation of SAHMs and not caring about women’s rights.

I can CHOOSE to stay home and take care of my family while being cognizant of and grateful for the fact that it is a CHOICE. ….

Facts. They are trying to say it is SAHM vs supporting womens rights? When did they become so binary in their thinking??? Lol. Hypocrites

I’m not the PP but we do have to move on from history. We are not our mothers.

When I was a fed many years ago, the leadership was majority women. Not in a female dominated field either. Not DEI and no thought of any law. They simply were better. That’s similar to my experience in the private sector at several different places.

It’s time to take off the training wheels, ladies.

Civil rights got them that high paying job. Remove civil rights away and men might just start hiring their dim nephew again .

If you think men don’t just give jobs to their buddies when there is no civil rights office you’re wrong.

If you are standing under ann umbrella you don’t get wet and then you say I don’t need an umbrella see I’m dry.
